Training camp marks the unofficial beginning of the NFL season. Starting August 2nd, it also marks the beginning of our training camp link dumpish; bringing you all you need to know about the Bears pre-preseason going ons, every Monday and Thursday morning. (more…)
Tomorrow, the Chicago Bears start training camp in Bourbonnais. Are you going? You should. Sweating your balls off while watching your favorite football team run around like little kids totally beats out just sweating your balls off. (more…)
I am stoked! The Bears signed quarterback Mike Teel. Let’s see, Cutler is starting and Hanie is the backup. We just drafted LeFevour, who should be our third-string QB. Mike Teel fits in where? He only survived three weeks with the Patriots this off-season, how is he worth signing? I guess competition for LeFevour to see how he performs, you know, push him to sink or swim.
I don’t know when the Bears last played on WGN, or even if having Harry Caray call the game — you know, if laws of human mortality didn’t exist — would be plausible (after all, he was mainly a baseball announcer), but after learning that WGN will air the Bears-Dolphins game Nov. 18, I can’t help but to think about how exciting a Caray broadcast would be. ALRIGHT! LEMME HEAR YA! BEAR DOWN, FOLKS!
The bad thing about Craig Steltz (attributed to the Chicago Tribune‘s Dan Pompei via his Reader Q&A mailbag) being one of the Bears’ top two safeties, and wanted to be seen at free: coverage hang-ups, lack of speed, and general mediocrity. The good thing: We just may see more of that girl around here. (more…)
Formalities are over. The man to your left in the North Carolina jersey is now officially a member of the Chicago Bears. He brings with him 81 career sacks and the hopes of an entire nation. Oh, and aside from Julius Peppers, the Bears signed Chester Taylor, too. So, yep, not a bad day. (more…)
Why do I get the feeling that, as we speak, someone in the Bears organization has barricaded themselves inside the team’s PR room and taken control of the “wire”. Whatever that means. How else do you explain the Bears’ inexplicable interest in all these high-profiled free agents? (more…)
Year after year, we’ve watched while the Bears did nothing in free agency. There is an old adage and I believe it goes something like: don’t give me Brandon Lloyd and tell me he’s T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Bad example, maybe. But, the Bears did something remarkable last year, something they never do — instigated a blockbuster trade. Is this reason enough to believe Julius Peppers to Chicago is going to happen? (more…)
The last post of the week; something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of the weekend.
Torry Holt wants to play in Chicago. He feels confident he can show the current “guys how to run [Martz'] system, efficiently, effectively and consistently.” On a side note, Holt’s finger is bent disgustingly, unnaturally and extra-terrestrially.
If only because: this is the third anniversary of one of the most depressing days of my young life, the offseason thus far has been unconvincing, and the decline of the Bears since the 2006 season has been so abrupt, I’m pretty excited to hear today that Devin Hester “would love to get back in that situation with the return game.” (more…)
Okay … Um … Let’s see … Geez.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. But I have a feeling the thousands of Packers and Vikings fans around the, you know, respective states of Wisconsin and Minnesota will disagree. Unless, they’re homosexual of course. Thanks to JerBear50 for the tip. (more…)

Look no further for a coach; the Chicago Bears finally have their man! Uh … er, for the offensive line, anyway. The always seafaring Mike Tice is leaving his assistant head coach/tight ends coach position in Jacksonville to do only half that much in Chicago. And I like! If he treats the O-line anything like he treats these four … well, maybe that isn’t the best route to go. (more…)
